February 25, 2010 by SparklingBlue Pokemon, Serials No Comments

When we last left our heroes…

As the crowd disperses and Ash and Dawn pick up what coins are scattered on the pavement, the tall woman approaches Brock. “Well told, Song Mage…I would expect nothing more from the great Arran Seluna.”

“My pleasure, Lady Sage.” Brock replies, trying all the while not to break character and go crazy over the woman’s beauty.

“Are you Raina Telmiras?” Ash asks.

“You speak the truth, Jelan Mirana…” the woman replies before addressing Brock again. “As thanks for a wonderful performance, I bid you spend some time at my house, for I know much of the quest Karmina has given you…” … Continue Reading

“But what about Loras?” Ash wondered. “Won’t she be able to learn Song Magic?”

“Has she displayed any talent for it?” Raina asked.

An awkward silence filled the room before Brock finally decided to answer the sage’s question. “No–she has not shown any talent for it that we know of.”

“She is perfectly capable of learning to use it, but she has to want to learn.” Raina replied. “This will becomes your song, and the song then manifests as magic.”

“Do I want to learn Song Magic?” Dawn scoffed at how Raina was treating her like her own mother back in the real world. “You bet I do!”

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 3: The Story of the Sage

February 18, 2010 by SparklingBlue Pokemon, Serials No Comments

When we last left our heroes…

“So, where do we begin?” Dawn wonders.

“Travel to the town of Sundol–there you will learn of the first jewel, the ruby named Vatradaina–the Firesong.” Karmina replies. “It is a day’s journey west of here.” With that, she disappears.

Ash waves goodbye as Karmina disappears. “So, shall we?”

“Yeah!” Dawn smiles.

“Vatradaina, here we come!” Brock agrees as the three friends, Happini and Pikachu walk off into the sunset. … Continue Reading

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 2: An Illusion of Heroes

February 11, 2010 by SparklingBlue Pokemon, Serials No Comments

Last time, on our previous adventure…

“You know where we are?” Brock is surprised. “What I want to know is how I managed to teleport Ash and Dawn with just my voice.”

“That is the power of Song Magic, Arran Seluna.” a soothing female voice replies. “You cast Revealing Aura with your song and brought your friends to you. Brock looks again to see who is speaking and notices an angel-like being clad in an outfit made of what looks like colored musical symbols. “I am Karmina, Goddess of Music and Song, and I have an urgent quest for you and your friends.” … Continue Reading

“So this isn’t a dream?” Brock asked the starshape Pokemon and the red and black fox Pokemon before him.

“No…although you appear to be asleep in your home world, you are actually in a state of deep meditation that can be confused for sleep.” Jirachi explained. “Once Mew put you into that state, Zoroark here created the illusion of Arran’s world for you to experience.”

“But wait a minute! Not every episode of ‘The Song Mage Chronicles’ has aired in English!” Ash protested. “Won’t we be messing up the canon on the show?”

“Like Jirachi has told you, this is merely a recreation of the world seen in the TV show–you can choose to stick to the canon or allow your flights of fancy about what has yet to come take wing.” Zoroark replied. “The choice is yours.”

O^-^O: Curious to see what happens? Stop by tomorrow and see!

Here we go with a new serial:

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale

Episode 1: Once Upon an Adventure

“Okay, Happini…let’s see what sort of adventures your favorite singing hero will get into today.” a boy with brown hair and tan skin cooed to the small pink humanoid by his side. He reached for the TV remote sitting on the small table by the couch and turned on the TV, making the image of a boy similar in appearance to him walking through a forest playing a small harp blip on the screen. … Continue Reading

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Review

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Review

The original Matt Hazard had the potential to be a great game, good voice work with the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Will Arnett. A brilliant backstory and marketing campaign which broke the fourth wall entirely, and the story while thin was entertaining and amusing. The sole problem came in the gameplay department which [...]

SB Plays The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

When the newest entry in the beloved Zelda series was announced earlier this year, people were both excited and skeptical. How well would a train in the Zeldaverse go over with fans? Would the gameplay be a replay of Phantom Hourglass, with its infamously numerous trips through the Temple of the Ocean King?
Now that the [...]
